Wonderful Town on Regis & Kelly---and a question...

Who saw Wonderful Town this morning?? How was it? Anyway, my other question is are the shows performing on "Live" shows that need a boost in ticket sales (because Little Shop, Wonderful Town, Bombay Dreams, & Caroline or Change...well let's just say they could do better with ticket sales) If so, I was surprised Avenue Q was there since it won the Tony...I guess the more publicity, the better???

Donna Murphey was excellent (of course). I'm not sure what the song was (not too familiar with Wonderful Town), but it was something about how to lose a man. There doesn't seem to be a reason or theme for the shows this week other than "Broadway Week."

I saw it this morning, and Donna Murphy is incredible.
She's got amazing stage prescence and character!

I loved her---she is always so spot-on when she performs. I luckily woke up and taped it in time. I'm glad she did this song; it shows her off, and the audience was cracking up.

why did they cut a single line from the song? the one missing was:
a sure, sure, sure, sure, way to lose a man, a splendid way to lose a ma, just throw your knowlege in his face he'll never try for second base

That's one the best lines, too.

maybe they thought second base was a little risque for the daytime crowd

same reason why Princeton would only "date his TA". I understand not saying the F word - I thought he would say screw.

Oh can anybody tell me the cut lyrics version? I think Im going to use that song to audition with for a revue and it's only supposed to be a min and a half. (But I DO want to keep the second base line - maybe replace a not so funny line that they kept in this version). Thanks!

I wonder what they will cut in Feed Me (Git It) tomorrow.

But it was cut from the TV version, and I was wondering what else exactly was cut?

They also cut out the lifeguard line, this morning, if I remember correctly. Donna is superb, she blows me away in this show, I laugh so hard whenever I listen to the song.

Yea she wowed me. I wasnt looking ot be that impressed (I always look at acting before singign and dancing, as I can't sing or dance myself) but Donna has more stage presence than I've seen in a long while! She seems very down to earth.
